Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the setting of thyroid storm.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A woman in her 50s with a background of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease secondary to smoking presented with intermittent chest tightness, dyspnoea and vomiting for 4 days. A presumed diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was made based on dynamic ischaemic ECG changes and elevation in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels. She underwent emergent coronary angiography which demonstrated mild coronary artery disease with left ventriculography suggestive of mid-wall variant Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Thyroid function tests performed to investigate sinus tachycardia were consistent with hyperthyroidism, and her thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody was elevated. A diagnosis of thyroid storm was made in the setting of a newly diagnosed Graves' disease and the patient was subsequently commenced on guideline-based therapy. This case demonstrates that Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a mimic of ACS, is a possible complication of thyroid storm and therefore hyperthyroidism should be considered in the list of differentials in patients presenting with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
